Panel 2 | Client Attraction and AUM Growth in the New Era
Winning Chinese clients who are the most digitally-sophisticated end clients in the world presents unique challenges and opportunities for both incumbents and new fintech driven wealth managers. Combined with a new generation of investment products which the government has foretold, the Chinese wealth landscape demands innovative solutions and strategies for both Chinese and foreign private banks who seek to succeed in this vast, and still relatively youthful, wealth market. How are digital tools being utilised to reach, educate and capture end client attention and asset flows? What are the other unique attributes of Chinese clients to which ambitious Chinese and foreign private banks must adapt if they are to thrive?

Panel 3 | Market Perspectives & Client Needs
The challenges of investing in a year typified by geopolitical uncertainty, pockets of volatility, and rising interest rates are unlikely to dissipate as we head into 2019. So what lies ahead for Chinese investors whose needs span capital growth and preservation, and where do the opportunities lie for private banks and wealth managers to deliver value to clients in this environment? How are firms approaching asset allocation for Chinese investors at this juncture and, in a rapidly changing regulatory environment, what solutions may find success within onshore and offshore portfolios?
